19. Tien-Tien Yu (CERN): New Ideas for sub-GeV Dark Matter Direct Detection

Tien-Tien Yu (CERN)

Talk

The lack of any unambiguous signature of traditional WIMP dark matter, with masses of order 100 GeV, in direct detection searches has prompted a great deal of interest in new techniques, both theoretical and experimental, to probe dark matter candidates below a GeV in mass. In this talk, I will provide a brief survey of some of the recent proposals for the direct detection of meV-GeV mass dark...
